Again with the Hormones

So I hope you are not tired of hearing about my hormones yet. I mean, I’ve given you all a good break since this post so you should be rested and refreshed and ready to ride another roller coaster with me, right???

RIGHT??

Ok then! So, I have an appointment with my OB-GYN on Thursday and I have never been so excited to go see her in my life because I am not feeling really swell these days. For funzies, I decided to take an online test and see if I might have a hormone imbalance. Let’s just say I score pretty HIGH. In each category if you checked 2 or more symptoms, you might have that disorder. In one of the categories I checked SEVEN boxes and in another I checked FOUR. A third type of disorder was listed as “a combination” of the two I had checked so many boxes in.

I accidentally tweeted my list of symptoms last night (oopsie!) when I was working on this, hey sometimes things get copied & pasted into the wrong box. IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE! Who is writing a post at 11:00 PM! GEEZ! So, anyways, I might as well share them with you, my loyal and caring readers, since I already shared them with the entire twitterverse.

PMS!
Insomnia!
Anxiety!
Memory problems! (my brain is swiss cheese)
Cyclical Headaches! (now with staying power!)
Mood Swings!
Anxious Depression!
Weepiness!
Foggy thinking! (love an excuse for this)
Migraines!
And just so I have some ugly to go with the crazy
Acne!

So basically I think I am really screwed up. Hence the doc appointment on Thursday. Where I am fairly certain, there is going to have to be about 1,000 different kinds of things prescribed to me to make me feel better, but I don’t care, because I JUST. WANT. TO. FEEL. BETTER.

Buckle your seat belts and stay tuned, because I am sure I will not be able to stop myself from giving you every cringe-worthy detail. I hope this hormonecoaster ride is almost over, and I hope you’ll hang with me as I see it through.

If Everyone Else Jumped Off a Cliff…

It’ll make you feeeeeel goood!

Everybody’s doing it!!

Tricia and Cortney started it.

Amy got Biblical about it.

Emily worked it.

Shannan took the plunge.

And now, it’s my turn! I can’t take the peer pressure ANYMORE.

I too, am going to try once-a-month cooking!

With my husband as my cooking partner!!

Tomorrow!

With Sammy’s birthday party in between cooking sessions!

Recap to come Monday, in the meantime, pray that my kitchen and my marriage survive. (Because really, that would be alot of guilt for Tricia and Cortney to live with, ya know? But I would TOTALLY blame them.)

Running on Empty

I’m as happy as I can be to see the calendar turn to March. January was emotionally rough and before I had full recovered it was February. And February was busy, insanely busy and full of anxiousness for me. It started out by frantically preparing for BlissDom, and then the amazing-crazy-fun-ecstasy that was BlissDom, and THEN the major post-BlissDom letdown when my house was a wreck and I couldn’t seem to get my groove back.

Then followed two weeks of ridiculous kindergarten-registration-preparation-anxiety and finally, preparations for Joshua’s 5th birthday party.

Somewhere in between kindergarten anxiety and birthday party prep, I just started to feel really…inadequate.

Inadequate as a mother, a wife, a blogger, and a person in general. I am an organizational nightmare, and I feel like life would be so much easier if I could get a good schedule going.

I am hoping March brings me the opportunities I need to recharge, refresh, re-organize (I feel that if I didn’t suck so badly at time management my life would run a lot more smoothly) and re-energize.

I also really hope it gets warmer. ‘Cause 25 degrees on the first day of March? SUCKS. And a little sunshine? Would probably do wonders to improve my mood!
